P1 - Just out of the shower.
P2 - All dressed up and ready for the Laaai-deees
P3 - Baby, you know I GOT it!
P4 - Wassa matter toots? Chicken?
:):):);)

Had about 4 hours with it and it has not failed to impress.
Much smaller & lighter than expected. A niggle or two (not related to optics!)
More later!

Some nice gear there Peter.

Hi Peter, :)

So that's what's brought the rain!!! :lol:
All I did was just look at the pics of your scope.

Cheers Marty

I see a spot on the lens - you don't actually expose that to the elements do you?

It was touch & go!
Thanks for the words everyone. I've been scrimping for this for a while. Every time I got close to having the dosh, something would cpme-up that cost $5000 to fix!
It was a toss-up between this , A 210 Mewlon, and a TEC 140.
It won for 'ease of use" really.

"Blue Stuff", is available from this provider, along with complimentary "Baking-hot firey orb of heat that turns everything to dust which blows around at night and causes air to shimmer". Reasonable price.

Hopefully I can do it justice and I'd like to do a concered survey of the "Clouds" with it,

Thanks again. A full report in the next couple of days,
